doesn't anybody wear watches anymore

[X-Files]

Even if so, why does that matter ?

more than one watch is crazy, eh ?

If one dies, then you don't miss your plane.

 

[HacheMan]

If I go out I'll wear a watch for appearance.

Otherwise, not need for a watch when everyone is carrying around cell phones these days....

 

[jonnyangel]

I wear a watch at work because we are not allowed to use cell phones and the clock is too far away, other than that never. I got one coming from BAS but that will be for special occasions. Plus a gold bracelet will make you look much more official.

So you wear two watches just in case one happens to fail ?

Seems to me that you plan ahead for the trip to airport, leave ontime....then the rest is out of your control....you can't do anything if a tractor-trailer truck jackknifes and you're delayed 4 hours getting to the airport, eh ?

You have the car radio's clock and your cellphone to back your one watch already. Two watches are redundant ( IMO)

A watch, a small pocket knife and a handkerchief. Those are three of the handiest things a man can carry with him.

LOL, that quote looks like it was written in 1916.

in my mondays, wedensdays and fridays, all the classes have a clock....neither of my tuesday/thursday classes do, and those are the long ones....psychology and algebra.....i prefer to leave my cell in my vehicle, don't want it going off in class (stupid thing seems to have a habit of turning itself on) and i'm afraid of losing it, have a bad habit of walking off without it.....first part goes by pretty quick, but at some point it's like "goddamn, 6 pages of notes, it's gotta be about time to get out of here...." that's when i start going nuts, it's like an unquenchable desire to know what fucking time it is

I had a college class without a clock once, but it was close enough to the bell towers that you could faintly hear the chimes denoting each 15 minutes. Saved me cause I didn't have a watch and this was basically pre-cell phone.

Heh. I may be the only guy under the age of 70 who carries a handkerchief. I do find a lot of use for them, though.

Yes.

Certainly i won't catch my plane if i'm killed in a collision on the way to the airport.

I don't drive and my cell phone time would be a second backup to the 2nd watch.
So if i'm sitting at an airport restaurant eating, reading & bird watching, and two
of my timers fail, i will not miss my flight. I know, it's like a billion to one that that
happens, but what the hell. Better safe than sorry.

If you believe a billion to one shot might happen, how do you get on the GD airplane?!?!?!?! Are you more scared of missing your flight than dying on it?

I'm speachless about a guy that wears two watches just in case one fails !

 

[soonerdawg1]

well....God did give us two testicles

 

[Doug]

How can a guy this paronoid make a bet ?

 

[CowboyT]

I carry two watches and a sun dial, in case both watches fail.

It's an issue of taking control of things you can take control of,
not things you can't. I can take care to be at my flight on time,
but i don't fly the plane or control the weather.

BTW, some people like driving in cars {more dangerous than
flying in a plane}, skiing, bungee jumping, parachuting.

Don't blame me when you miss your plane ;

Should've been three. At least i have the "third eye". On my anke.

Just avoid the -1,000,000,000 & higher favs maybe?

Me too, and i'm not even 55.

I should start wearing both watches all the time. It seems almost a waste to
leave one sitting around doing nothing. Besides it might draw the attention
of the hot gold diggers. And make me look like the neighborhood pimp. Then
all the retired old ladies would be chasing me down.
